Trading statistics for the week ended 26 April 2019

Below a short summary of SA equities from Peregrine Treasury Services before we look at the JSE trading statistics for the week ending 26 April 2019. 

The medical sector continues to remain under pressure, as Life Healthcare was seen slipping over 8.00% (down around R25.00 per share on the day) on Wednesday on the back of a poor earnings numbers for the six months ending 31 March 2019. Added strain continues to flow toward the sector, as medical aid companies start to heavily address the high costs that patients incur within the walls of these medical institutions. Life Healthcare opened up Friday’s trading day at R26.47 per share, now almost flat for the year.
Some of April’s bigger movers on the JSE, as at Friday morning:
  • EOH: up around 83.60%
  • Telkom: up around 13.82%
  • Bidvest: up around 11.97%
  • Price: up around 10.65%
  • Tiger Brands: down around 9.35%
  • Life Healthcare: down around 2.32%
Year-to-date, the JSE All Share index is up 11.51% and the Top 40 up 12.29%, both trending up around 1.00% during the last two weeks. Sector-wise, the resource sector lost its top spot against the industrial sector over the last two weeks, as industrials have now returned 15.36% and resources 14.27% for the 2019 year so far. In last spot, SA financials have now returned 3.70% for the year.

JSE Trading Statistics for the week ending 26 April 2019

Number of trades:
Number of trades (2019): 853 011
Number of trades (2018): 907 133
% change year on year: -5.97%

Volume traded:
Volume traded (2019): 763 930 000
Volume of traded (2018): 1 071 438 000
% change year on year:  -28.70%

Value of trades:
Value of trades (2019): R59 229 648 000
Value of trades (2018): R76 499 897 000
% change year on year: -22.58%

Foreign purchase/selling:
Net sales/Purchases (2019):  R 1 402 130  000
Net sales/Purchases (2018):  R 395 837 000
​
So year to date (YTD) foreigners have been net seller/buyers:
Net sales/Purchases (2019): -R25.605 billion

Net sales/Purchases (2018): R30.067 billion

So a year ago foreigners were net buyers of SA listed shares to the value of R30.067 billion for the YTD while this year they have been net sellers to the tune of -R25.605 billion in the year to date (YTD).  That is a R55.67 billion swing in fortunes of foreigners being net buyers or sellers over the course of the last 12 months. And sadly for South Africans and South African investors the foreigners are dumping South African listed shares instead of buying.

JSE total market capitalisation:
Market Cap (2019): R16.576 trillion
Market Cap (2018): R14.628 trillion
% change year on year: 13.32%


So as shown in the JSE total market capitalisation, the overall market has increased substantially over the course of the last 12 months, It's had a particularly positive start to the year, with all three months of the year ending in positive territory and it looks like the months of April will be ending in the green too. See our JSE Calendar tracker for more.


Key issues for the market and South Africa during 2019 will be:
  • Exchange Rate (seems to see sawing a lot. See our exchange rate page)
  • Elections (and how this will affect policies and policy implementation in South Africa)
  • Crude Oil prices
  • Expropriation of land without compensation (EWC)
  • Sluggish economic growth (See our SA GDP page)  and high levels of unemployment
  • Tax increases announced in the budget speech and how it will affect South African consumers spending patterns and potentially increase inflation levels as taxes were increased by rates higher than inflation. In particular lack of bracket creep relief and higher sin taxes, fuel levies and road accident fund levies will hurt consumers.
